Another old tutorial. This is a simplified way to start learning to draw dolphins. I devised the process myself, so please don't claim it as yours, should you use it or wish to show others. I don't draw dolphins myself exactly like this, but I hope it helps someone out there!

Instead of assembling this how-to from copy and paste, I screen capped the html files I still have and pieced them together from there...much faster! Like the coloring tutorial, this was done years ago for an Ecco the Dolphin fansite and as such, had more familiar text. I took out the references to any site members by painting over them.

Again, if there is something horribely wrong about this, please let me know, and I will see what I can do.

Funny, I've always used a similar technique to draw dolphins, but they never seem to look so good! Good tutorial!

The very same tutorial that I had learned from so many years ago. The very same technique I use to this day. I can't thank you enough for first showing this off, vanvan! This and your prismacolor tutorial have been so helpful to me over the years! I'm sure many others will continue to employ this very trick to draw dolphins as good as you do!

That's a really well done tutorial! It'll surely be for great help. Thank you so much for doing this tutorial, I've been thinking of how to draw dolphins. I never manage to get those right... But maybe this'll help me out a bit. :)
